It’s all going video—or that’s the latest hubbub. In Robert Reinhardt’s illuminating and excellent workshop on “Encoding H.264 and WebM Video for HTML5 and Flash: A Crash Course,” you’ll learn how to compress optimized video for HTML5 and Flash projects, using free tools like x264 and HandBrake, as well as commercial encoding products such as Telestream Episode Pro, Sorenson Squeeze and Adobe Media Encoder. Online services from encoding.com, zencoder.com and videoRx.com will also be discussed.

This will be a hands-on, get-it-done workshop. Attendees will need to have trial versions of encoding software installed on laptops brought to the workshop. Get ready to compress videos like the pros!
